Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance
In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended (“Act“), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers of a firm
under Section 222(c) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c), can be
satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. a significant number or proportion of the workers in
the workers’ firm or an appropriate subdivision of the
firm have become totally or partially separated, or
are threatened to become totally or partially
separated;
II. the workers’ firm is a Supplier or Downstream Producer
to a firm that employed a group of workers who
received a certification of eligibility under Section
222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a), and such
supply or production is related to the article or
service that was the basis for such certification; and
III. either
(A) the workers’ firm is a supplier and the component
parts it supplied to the firm described in paragraph
(2) accounted for at least 20 percent of the
production or sales of the workers’ firm; or
(B) a loss of business by the workers’ firm with the firm
described in paragraph (2) contributed importantly to
the workers’ separation or threat of separation.
Section 222(d) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(d), defines the
term “Supplier” as “a firm that produces and supplies directly
to another firm component parts for articles, or services used
in the production of articles or in the supply of services, as
the case may be, that were the basis for a certification of
eligibility under subsection (a) [of Section 222 of the Act] of
a group of workers employed by such other firm.”
The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on February 11, 2011 by a company official on behalf of
workers of Silberline Manufacturing Company, Inc., Hometown
Facility, Tamaqua, Pennsylvania (TA-W-75,236), Silberline
Manufacturing Company, Inc., Lansford Facility, Lansford,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-75,236A), Silberline Manufacturing Company,
Inc., Tidewood Facility, Tamaqua, Pennsylvania (TA-W-75,236B)
and Silberline Manufacturing Company, Inc., Decatur Facility,
Decatur, Indiana (TA-W-75,236C) (“Silberline”). The workers of
Silberline are engaged in activities related to the production
of special effects and performance pigments. The workers were
under an existing Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA)
certification that expires on March 9, 2011.
The investigation revealed that workers of Silberline who
are engaged in activities related to the production of special
effect and performance pigments meet the criteria as Suppliers
for secondary worker certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
proportion of the workers at Silberline are threatened to become
totally or partially separated.
Criterion II has been met because workers of Silberline
produced special effect and performance pigments that were
directly supplied to a firm with a currently certified TAA
worker group, and the component supplied was related to the
production of an article that was the basis for the TAA
certification.
Criterion III has been met because the loss of business
by Silberline with the TAA-certified firm, with respect to
special effect and performance pigments sold to the TAA-
certified firm, contributed importantly to worker separations
at Silberline.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Silberline
Manufacturing Company, Inc., Hometown Facility, Tamaqua,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-75,236), Silberline Manufacturing Company,
Inc., Lansford Facility, Lansford, Pennsylvania (TA-W-75,236A),
Silberline Manufacturing Company, Inc., Tidewood Facility,
Tamaqua, Pennsylvania (TA-W-75,236B) and Silberline
Manufacturing Company, Inc., Decatur Facility, Decatur, Indiana
(TA-W-75,236C), who are engaged in activities related to the
production of special effect and performance pigments meet the
worker group certification criteria under Section 222(c) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(c). In accordance with Section 223 of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I make the following certification:
“All workers of Silberline Manufacturing Company, Inc.,
Hometown Facility, Tamaqua, Pennsylvania (TA-W-75,236),
Silberline Manufacturing Company, Inc., Lansford Facility,
Lansford, Pennsylvania (TA-W-75,236A), Silberline
Manufacturing Company, Inc., Tidewood Facility, Tamaqua,
Pennsylvania (TA-W-75,236B) and Silberline Manufacturing
Company, Inc., Decatur Facility, Decatur, Indiana (TA-W-
75,236C), who became totally or partially separated from
employment on or after March 10, 2011, through two years
from the date of certification, and all workers in the
group threatened with total or partial separation from
employment on the date of certification through two years
from the date of certification, are eligible to apply for
adjustment assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the
Trade Act of 1974, as amended.”
